US President Donald Trump spoke by phone with the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. Trump wrote about this on his social network Truth Social on Friday, August 15.
The head of the White House called the conversation with Lukashenko "great", and the Belarusian dictator himself - "highly respected". According to Trump, the reason for the conversation was the release of 16 prisoners and the possible exchange of 1,300 political prisoners.
"Our conversation was very good. We discussed many topics, including putin's visit to Alaska. I look forward to meeting with President Lukashenko in the future. Thank you for your interest in this issue," Trump wrote.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on August 15, the White House published the schedule of the Trump-putin summit in Anchorage.
On August 14, Trump said he hoped to arrange a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and russian leader vladimir putin to end the war.
As a reminder, on August 13, Trump threatened russia with serious consequences if negotiations with putin failed.
